The new and improved Pagoda Bar at Hollywood’s historic Yamashiro has kick started summer off with its BBQ pool parties. Every Sunday from 2-5pm, Executive Chef Jason Park is grilling up $3 cheeseburger sliders and Kurobuta carnita sandwiches served with a side of Asian coleslaw and house made pickles. Enjoy muddled cocktails like the strawberry Basil-Jito, Glover’s Gimlet, or one of Norman’s famous Mai Tais while you dip your toes in the pool and soak up the sun.
The burgers and pulled pork sliders were delicious. Served hot and fresh off the grill, the buns are toasted and well worth the measly $3 price tag. Drinks are a bit pricey at around $14 each, but these cocktails are served in large plastic poolside friendly glasses and just one will have you buzzing on a Sunday afternoon.

Jason, the food is really good. For $3 you can’t go wrong. Sweede, you can wear your marble bag if you want. I heard the ladies love that.
